How Parayu works
Sits in your menu bar. Triggers in two seconds. Clean offline speech translation.
Your Dictation at a Glance
Watch typing speed, smart edits, dictation volume, desktop integrations, activity streaks, and model readiness update in one private on-device dashboard.
Understand How You Speak
See voice clarity, noise floor, tempo, speech cleanliness, pitch, tone, pace, and phrasing—analyzed locally without uploading your recordings.
Double-Click to Copy Anything
Every voice transcription is stored in a clean, local history log. Need to use a past translation elsewhere? Simply double-click any past card to copy the text to your clipboard instantly.
Prevent Transcription Errors
Map specialized jargon, accents, or misheard words. Define 'misheard → correct' word pairs (e.g., spoken Malayalam dialect to fluent English replacements) so the C++ engine corrects them automatically.
Shorthand Speech Commands
Create text macro templates. Dictate custom trigger phrases like 'my signature' or 'project update' to instantly expand into long multiline email templates or boilerplate code blocks.
Pick Your On-Device Brain
Toggle hotkeys and speech models. Choose the speech brain that fits your hardware: LOW (190MB/fast), MEDIUM (539MB/Malayalam Optimized), HIGH (844MB/Multilingual), or PRO (2.9GB/Full Float 16).
Built for speed and absolute privacy
A simple dictation helper with everything you need to type naturally.

Translates Malayalam
Offline translation dictionaries understand Malayalam phrases and convert them to standard, fluent English sentences automatically.
